      Hi,

      I'm doing some SEO for www.suprafootwear.com, and for some reason when I go to text-only in google cache, nothing shows up.

      http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:suprafootwear.com&es_sm=91&strip=1

      That seems to be the case for all of the different pages on the site, but the content is still appearing on the serp.  I have never seen this before, and I'm not sure what's happening.

      Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Thanks!

        I think this just has to do with the way you have your front end code designed.  I went to the link you provided and yes the information that is displayed is blank except for a semi colon.  If you view source for that page, you can see all the content in the HTML of the text only cache version.

        There is some interaction with the header that google uses on that page and the code on your site so that it looks blank even though all the information is there. Google can obviously read it, it is just not displaying correctly in that mode.

        I ran your home page through the WC3 validator

        http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.suprafootwear.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

        You have 125 errors and 32 warnings.  That may point to what is going on here.  Worth fixing all that and doing some cross browser testing to make sure the code displays across browsers etc.

        Cheers!
